The dragon stands triumphantly upon an ornate scrollwork pedestal, beneath which sits a polished oval black onyx seal framed by a decorative saw-tooth bezel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally inspired by traditional Victorian watch fobs, pieces like this enjoyed a remarkable resurgence during the 1960s and 1970s, when historic motifs and heraldic symbolism once again became fashionable. The result is a striking statement pendant that feels both timeless and wonderfully distinctive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuspended from a gold jump ring, it is ready to wear on a favourite chain or could equally be added to a substantial gold charm bracelet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether worn for its mythical symbolism, collected as an unusual fob seal, or simply admired as a beautifully crafted conversation piece, this is a wonderfully characterful pendant that is certain to stand apart from the ordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS ~\u003cbr\u003e\nMETAL: 9ct gold\u003cbr\u003e\nGEMSTONE: Black onyx, 15.5 × 13.5mm\u003cbr\u003e\nSIZE: 3.4cm (1¼ inches) high including jump ring.
